When I pay to file an extension, do I have to pay again when I file the return for the client?

When I pay to file an extension, do I have to pay again when I file the return for the client?  I called customer service twice and each "expert" said I have to pay twice, but I don't think that's correct based on other answers I found online.

I'm weary of the customer service answer since each one of them didn't even know what an extension is and how it's supposed to work.

Fed and state are 2 different charges, but once you pay to print/file an extension, that pays for the whole federal return....so if you didnt pay for the state return already, once you go to print that, you'll have to pay the state fee.
